Farmers and ranchers are small “c” conservatives. They’re independent. They still pray before the start of a rodeo or a chuckwagon race. They’re business people. They honour traditional family values and they reward and respect hard work.

Alberta farmers and ranchers and anyone who opposes the NDP draconian methods should just stop paying taxes. When are people going to realize that the only way the NDP survives is on our tax dollars? If we stop giving them our money they will be done. Why aren’t the Wildrose Party, the Alberta Reform Party, and the Conservatives promoting an idea like this? If they really cared about Albertans they would.

Well looks like MLA Don McIntyre picked up some nuggets from your book The Destroyers.
Check out the legislature yesterday. All the NDP could do was sit and listen. No rebuttal.
Good going Sheila!
Hold these commies to account!

Dylan just got a taste of his own medicine. Trying to reason or debate with these clowns doesn’t work so I thought insults with a little gang mentality added would do the job. He seems to have finished his shift. Good work by the folks with actual debate.

Dyan asked for some articles on companies that have pulled out projects from Alberta … okay, I revised that a bit because Dylan actually asked me to list the companies that pulled out, when in fact I said projects.

Dylan McLernon Many did not leave but, meg cancelled a billion worth of projects, cenovous cancelled 2 billion worth, harvest cancelled 500 million worth, sunshine cancelled more spending im not sure how much, shell cancelled Carmon creek project 1.5 billion,husky cancelledf projects in alberta to keep building in sask, deven cancelled the pike project, shell cancelled pierre river, suncor fort hills upgrader cancelled, is that enough or should I go on, Just because they don’t leave does not mean thousands of jobs are not gone, The NDP are fools who have no clue what they are doing and it shows every day. The protests will get bigger and bigger,

Dylan, it does not matter how you believe the NDP in this or other provinces have run them. The evidence is plain for all to see that in every province the NDP have been in office they have all tanked the economies. Every last province!

Dylan McLernon. So you live in the climate change dream land where everything is windy and sunny at the same time every day. No big surprise. How’s that working for Germany and Ontario? I’ll bet you are in love with muslims too aren’t your comrade?

Peter, telling me the NDP isn’t for small business or industry is a joke. The small business tax rate in Manitoba is zero. I am pretty certain the NDP also lowered the small business tax rate here in Alberta. Small business is the economic driver. That used to be the mantra of conservatives. But now you are all in bed with big business. No thanks.

Peter asked…
If Alberta’s economic problems are only due to the price of oil, then:

1) why did the corporation that have pulled out their new project investment from Alberta specifically state in their press releases that they withdrew their projects because of the Alberta government?

2) why are those same corporations investing that same money into other jurisdictions such as Saskatchewan, the USA, and around the world? Isn’t the world price of oil the same all over the world?

Peter, name me some companies that have left Alberta? I would love for you to mention a company like Larina who took federal loans from a government entity here in Canada, (meaning our tax money) and then proceeded to go into bankruptcy protection. Otherwise, if they are leaving, then they are not economic innovators and who cares? Suncor isn’t leaving… in fact they laid off a few thousand employees and then invest $6.6billion into buying Canadian Oilsands Inc.

These companies are not investing in Wind or Solar because it doesn’t work. These oil companies know that it works and that is why they are investing in it. Why would they be powering their facilities with wind, if wind energy wasn’t viable. Anyone here denying climate change can go look at that Schlumberge PDF I just posted. If an oil and gas company admits there is climate change, then how the hell can anyone say there isn’t.

You people in here having your hate fest against our government need to wake up. Our taxes in Alberta are still the lowest in Canada. It is just about damn time for our economy to start diversifying and changing. Personally I would love to get manufacturing back here, instead of having it all in China. I would love for Canada to build and innovate. I would love to also have millions of tourists every year, coming to Calgary because we made major changes to our infrastructure, as well as public art. Millions go to Bilboa Spain every year, just to see a museum. Imagine millions of tourists and what that could do for not only our economy, but the economy of airliners and everything else.

Dylan is losing the battle and getting tired now. Time to call up the reinforcements. Let me see, Ron Christensen is finished his two hour Liberal corruption shift for the day. Sean Penson is on disability with a hang nail. Jimmy Duh Silva is rumoured to be retired. The other idiots are still on training or nobody knows where they are.

Sorry Dylan,
You will have to do better than a Leftwing CBC Journalist.
We ran deficits under Harper as well, but Canada prospered.
Where is the prosperity in Alberta under the New Communist Regime?
Canada as a whole, is still crawling out of the abyss of 2006/2008.
There is a right way, and a wrong way to deal with economic challenges.
Next question?

I like how you all pretend to be conservative, when actually you are neo-liberal. Especially when you support a party who basically wants to open up our laws and borders to any multi-national corporation, Canadian’s be damned. You support a government in the conservatives who were constantly trying to drive down wages with the Temporary Foreign Worker program. You support a government the pretends to care about its people, and its military, yet shuts down veterans affairs offices, has to be forced kicking and screaming to support veterans mental health issues and here in Alberta, shut down many subsidized old folks homes. Then you go to church and pay god, hoping that he will save your soul.

Dylan McLernon.
Time for you to take a vacation. Do communists get to take a vacation? You pretend to know all of the answers. How long will it take Notley to destroy Alberta? How long will it take Trudeau to destroy Canada? I bet you are right in love with Wynne now that she has destroyed Ontario.

You communists are just never satisfied with enough destruction. Just like little fucking spoiled brat children. Well Dylan, your gravy train will end. That much is guaranteed. It’s coming comrade.
